Consider two solid spheres $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ each of density $8 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ and diameters $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $0.5 \mathrm{~cm}$, respectively. Sphere $\mathrm{P}$ is dropped into a liquid of density $0.8 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta=3$ poiseulles. Sphere $Q$ is dropped into a liquid of density $1.6 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ and viscosity $\eta=2$ poiseulles. The ratio of the terminal velocities of $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ is

A spherical ball of density $\rho$ and radius $0.003$ $m$ is dropped into a tube containing a viscous fluid filled up to the $0$ $ cm$ mark as shown in the figure. Viscosity of the fluid $=$ $1.260$ $N.m^{-2}$ and its density $\rho_L=\rho/2$ $=$ $1260$ $kg.m^{-3}$. Assume the ball reaches a terminal speed by the $10$ $cm$ mark. The time taken by the ball to traverse the distance between the $10$ $cm$ and $20$ $cm$ mark is

A small spherical ball of radius $0.1 \,mm$ and density $10^{4} \,kg m ^{-3}$ falls freely under gravity through a a distance $h$ before entering a tank of water. If after entering the water the velocity of ball does not change and it continue to fall with same constant velocity inside water, then the value of $h$ wil be $m$. (Given $g =10 \,ms ^{-2}$, viscosity of water $=1.0 \times 10^{-5} \,N - sm ^{-2}$ )
